Jose Mourinho has been tagged the greatest manager ever by many fans after the Portuguese led AS Roma to the final of the Europa Conference League final on Thursday.
Tammy Abraham’s first-half strike helped the Serie A side overcome Leicester City 1-0 in the semi-final second leg staged at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, thus qualifying 2-1 on aggregate.
With this, the former Chelsea and Manchester United handler became the first tactician to reach the final of a major European competition with four different clubs, having done so with Porto (Uefa Cup & Champions League), Inter (Champions League), Manchester United (Europa League) and now Roma (Europa Conference League).

Florentino Perez would forever be grateful to Jose Mourinho.

Kids don’t really know how far Real Madrid fell off before Perez took Jose from Inter.
Jose said he only needed Khedira, Ozil, Di Maria, etc to rebuild. Young upcoming players. The GOAT
Jose Mourinho is the GOAT, it is that simple.

Some fans trolled Manchester City for their inability to reach this season’s Champions League despite the expensive talent in their squad.
They suggested that the Citizens should hire Mourinho if they hope to make their pursuit of European glory a reality.
@ManCity if you wanna win the Champions League its simple, give the same budget to Mourinho that you gave to Pep Fraudiola and watch what happens.

See Mourinho turning water to wine.

They Handed Carabao man the GDP of the whole West Africa…
And still Man City aren’t any closer to an European trophy than Arsenal has been.
Frustrated Pep fan boys mocking Mourinho making Conference League Final when half of the trophies their paper genius has won at City after £2b is Carabao Cup where he plays Wrexham, Shrewsbury & Halifax on the way to the Final.Enter UCL & he can't get past small Lyon.Or Monaco.😁

Manchester City should employ Mourinho if they ever hope to win the #UCL
— Shina Oludare 🇳🇬 (@sportingshina) May 5, 2022
Give Jose Mourinho the Manchester City job and theyll finally learn how to hold onto a lead in Europe 🤣#specialone #fraudiola

Manchester City needs Jose mourinho to be able to take champions league https://t.co/05EghfiN7Q
— PAPA_J🇬🇭🦁 (@jacob_menkah) May 5, 2022
Mourinho doesn’t need the best player in the world-Messi or £1b and/or 3 seasons to make another European Final, unlike the bald fraud who inherited a team that won a treble at Bayern b4 he arrived, best players in the league at City, spent £1b & still unable to win the CL
